What is the measure with which air molecules push on a surface?

That is usually described in units of pressure - force per unit area. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal, equivalent to newton/meter2.


How does air exert a push or pull?

Air exerts a push or pull through the force of air pressure. When air molecules collide with a surface, they create a force that can push or pull objects. This is how phenomena like wind and air resistance occur.


What measures the force that air molecules uses to push on a surface?

The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface is air pressure. An instrument that is used to measure air pressure is a barometer.
